American Tag Team Champions
Sarahcuda
American Female Champion
Fireworks went off and a crowd of 11,500 fans go spastic as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played and the show began.
[Voiceover] "Tonight...the road to August And Everything After goes through Oklahoma. Earlier today, American Heavyweight Champion John Capone attempted a sneak attack on #1 Contender Mike Harvey. The following is fan footage..."
[From 3:07 PM] Capone is shown standing next to a fan with a camera behind a cement post in front of the building.
[CAPONE] (to camera/fan) "Just keep the fucking camera rolling because what happens next is going to be historic."
Capone got jumpy as a red Pontiac Vibe entered the parking lot.
[CAPONE] "Is that him? I think so...get ready..."
An ACE official exited the Vibe.
[CAPONE] "Damn it. Not him."
The camera began to shake and Capone was assaulted from behind by someone in a hoodie that turned out to be Mike Harvey. Harvey took Capone and rammed him head-first into the post he was standing by, before DDT'd him onto the ground. Harvey closed out the scene by high-fiving the guy who was holding the camera and looking seriously into said camera to speak.
[HARVEY] "No one outsmarts Mike Harvey."
Present time. Benjamin Hammer and referee Bernard LaChance are caught by a cameraman talking about something incoherent in a corner. ACE Commissioner Andrew Bootman walked toward them, tapped both on the shoulder and shouted (as the camera drew in).
[BOOTMAN] "Both of you are done."
[HAMMER] "Done...what?"
[LACHANCE] "Yeah, what?"
[BOOTMAN] "I don't know what you're up to. I don't care what you're up to. But you're both annoying, so take a hike."
Hammer and LaChance looked dumbfounded as Bootman strutted away.
In another part of the building, Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) were talking to The Iron Maiden and her Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) about the American Tag Team Championship.
[MELROSE] (to Maiden) "I am not trying to start anything or be aggressive but I think we deserve the shot at those tag titles."
[MAIDEN] "What the hell have you done?"
[STEELE] "What the HELL have you done? Do you ever let those two masked behemoths speak?"
[MAIDEN] "As I recall, we beat you guys in 90 seconds at Title Wave. If you wanna try again, go for it. If we we win the titles at August and Everything After, you guys will be first in line for a title shot."
[STEELE] (gets in the face of Maiden) "Deal!"
[MAIDEN] (shoves Steele) "Deal."
The Assassins and Hair Metal go nose-to-nose but are able to hold back. Moments later, all four members of the Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth) show up.
[MONACO] "Me and DoMo are the champs, we call the shots. You fools can make all the matches you want after the pay-per-view but the titles are staying with the Danteourage."
The Assassins and Hair Metal turn away from each other and toward the Danteourage.
[MELROSE] "You cockwaffles sure have big mouths for a group of misfit guido wannabes..."
That was the verbal grenade that started an eight-man scuffle. Each member of the Danteourage went at it with an Assassin or Hair Metal member while Maiden screamed for blood. The fracas lasted several minutes and went throughout backstage, knocking down ACE employees and equipment left and right until it was broken up by fellow wrestlers and ACE officials. An eight-man tag team main event was set for later in the show.
Commercial Break
Backstage, Natasha Malone was checking on her friends Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) after their scuffle when Mother Mary confronted her.
[MARY] "You think you're so entitled, Natasha. That everything should be yours. Look at how you're working Christian and Irwin. You're just a skank."
Malone jumped onto Mary with a Thesz Press backstage but the battle was quickly stopped by nearby ACE officials, who sent both women to the ring to begin the elimination match.
American Female Championship #1 Contender Elimination Match
Karra LaRue vs. Natasha Malone vs. Lindsey Fontaine vs. Mother Mary
Time Limit: None • Referee: Jason Charles
Malone went right after Mary to start the match, leaving LaRue and Fontaine to face off. In ACE elimination matches, all participants are "legal" at the same time. Fontaine was quickly eliminated at 2:03 by LaRue following a Karrarizer. LaRue and Malone double-teamed Mary until it was too much for the nun to handle and she slid out of the ring, forcing LaRue and Malone to go at it. After LaRue and Malone traded holds and flash maneuvers to excite the crowd a bit, Mary saw an opportunity to come off the top rope at the same time Malone shoved LaRue into the ropes which crotched Mary on the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheered. Malone followed by superplexing Mary off the top rope of the east corner, allowing LaRue to hit the Karrarizer from the opposite corner on Mary for the next elimination. With the pleased crowd on their feet, LaRue and Malone went at it solidly again for a few more minutes until LaRue took Malone down hard with a clothesline. Thinking it was time to end it, LaRue went to the top rope again. At the same time, Malone was able to rise up just in time to springboard off the top rope and nail LaRue (standing on the turnbuckle) in the face with the Natty By Nature. The crowd was ecstatic. Both women fell to the center of the ring, with Malone rolling on top of LaRue for the cover and win.
RESULT: Natasha Malone def. Karra LaRue (8:09), Mother Mary (4:58), Lindsey Fontaine (2:03) to earn title match
Immediately after the bell, American Female Champion Sarahcuda was escorted to the entrance aisle by two policemen who unchained her and warned her not to do anything. Sarahcuda walked calmly to the ring before abruptly taking her belt off and storming into the ring to attack Malone and LaRue, Both fell victim to a Trust Buster. The crowd booed as Sarahcuda stood tall. Before her cops could chain her up again, Valerie came from the back and climbed into the ring to interview the champion. Sarahcuda looked at Valerie, tilted her head demonically and stormed into her gut with the Trust Buster. The cops tended to Valerie while Sarahcuda took the chains and went ballistic until ACE officials sedated her.
Commercial Break
Dios was in the ring alone (with a microphone in hand) when the show returned.
[DIOS] (pacing) "Well, I was supposed to face Benjamin Hammer tonight in a warm-up match...to prepare for August And Everything After where I destroy Mr. Canada!" (crowd cheers) "And we all saw what happened to Benji backstage. Anyway, I need an opponent tonight and I understand we have some folks from the ACE training camp backstage. So why don't one of you young bucks get out here and step into the ring!"
A skinny, red-haired punk identified as Trick began strolling down to the ring. The crowd booed and he sneered back at them with conceitedness.
[DIOS] "We have a winner!"
Dios threw down the mic and prepared for his opponent.
Dios vs. Trick
Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles
Trick held is own early on but it seemed like Dios was toying with him a bit to test the waters. When Trick went for a hurricanrana at 3:02, Dios blocked it and power bombed Trick in the center of the ring. The crowd "ooohed." Dios waited for Trick to get back to his feet before hitting the Oh Dios Mio! to win.
RESULT: Dios def. Trick (3:50)
Dios and Trick shook hands afterward and the fans applauded both competitors. Into the camera, Dios said "Mr. Canada, your days are numbered."
Backstage, American Heavyweight Champion John Capone was seen stewing about the attack before the show. He hurled a cooler at an ACE lackey and threw other random junk around before pausing a second, as if contemplating something, and placing a call on his cell phone to someone.
Mr. Canada vs. Bucky Talbot w/Sandy Horseshoe
Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles
Horseshoe tried to lure Canada into a distraction by playing with her breasts but Canada caught Talbot trying to sneak attack him from behind. Canada clocked Talbot with a hard elbow to the face to begin the match. Canada beat the hell out of Talbot with ease, winning with the Maple Leaf Blower.
RESULT: Mr. Canada def. Bucky Talbot (3:53)
The crowd booed Canada, who followed the win by heading outside of the ring and pulling a Peruvian flag he had hidden underneath. After tossing Talbot through the ropes toward Horseshoe, Canada proceeded to mimic wiping his ass with the flag, prompting a chorus of boos. It did not take long for Dios to come out of the locker room and chase Canada from the ring. Canada leaped over the guard rail and Dios followed him through the crowd and out the back door of the arena.
Commercial Break
Dios was outside of the arena still searching for Canada when a camera got in his face. He used the opportunity to speak on what just happened.
[DIOS] "CANADA...THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND I! I AM NOT AN ELITIST! I RESPECT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA! YOU RESPECT NO ONE EXCEPT THE CANADIANS YOU CLAIM TO REPRESENT! I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON IN RESPECT AT AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER IF I HAVE TO CHOKE YOU WITH YOUR OWN EGO!"
The next thing viewers saw was American Heavyweight Champion John Capone frustratedly entering the ring with a microphone, greeted by a negative reaction from the crowd.
[CAPONE] "Did you jackasses see how I was jumped earlier today?" (crowd cheers) "To hell with all of you. You wake up every day in your miserable homes, feed your nagging kids, go to your meaningless jobs, come home and sit on your broken-down furniture, lay down in your worn out beds and pray to a God that I know for a fact doesn't exist!" (crowd boos) "I'm out here to crush even more of your dreams by letting your precious Mike Harvey know that I want his ass in a fight right now! Title on the line!" (crowd cheers) "Get out here, you redneck reject!"
The crowd roared as Mike Harvey slowly came out of the locker room with a smile on his face.
[CAPONE] "Wipe that grin off your face and get your ass in the ring."
Capone dropped the belt and laid it across the mat in front of him. Harvey responded by starting a jog to the ring but out of nowhere, a large man in a black suit attacked Harvey with a chair.
[CAPONE] "Ahahahahaha! Yes! Destroy him!"
The crowd booed as the man in the suit choked out Harvey with the throat and followed by hurling him into the guard rail head first, busting him open across the forehead.
[CAPONE] (to the jeering crowd) "I suppose you are all wondering who my new best friend here is. I present to you, the father of our Commissioner...STEVE BOOTMAN!"
The crowd booed. Commissioner Andrew Bootman came out and separated his father from Harvey and asked what the hell was going on. Steve brushed his son off and joined Capone in the ring.
[CAPONE] "Worry not, Andrew. Your father is now partaking in the breakfast of champions!"
Capone and Steve high-fived while Andrew stared in shock. Eventually, ACE medical crew members came out to assist Harvey onto a stretcher and take him to the back.
Commercial Break
An incoherent verbal fracas was shown from afar in front of Commissioner Andrew Bootman's office involving himself, John Capone and Steve Bootman.
Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) & Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden vs. Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, David Scarth & Green Lantern Fan)
Time Limit: 15:00 • Referee: Jason Charles
This match started out surprisingly calm, with all eight participants seeing time in the first few minutes. Things began to lean toward the Danteourage when Monaco and Morcello double-teamed Melrose and kept him in the Danteourage corner. While the crowd tried to will Melrose to safety, all four members of Danteourage took their tun with him. Scarth was the first one to get a bit cocky, parading around the ring and imitating Melrose's hair-swinging ways. This led to him attempting a dropkick and missing when Melrose moved. The crowd cheered as Melrose made a hot tag to #1, who stormed into the ring and head-butted Scarth across the ring. #1 went after Monaco and Morcello as well but both hopped off the ring apron and declined. GLF tagged himself in and attempted to surprise #1 with a top rope dive but #1 caught him and power slammed him into the ring, much to the delight of the crowd. #1 tagged in #2 and they started to set up Welcome To The Garden State, Mother Fucker when Monaco and Morcello rolled under the ropes and broke it up. This led to all eight participants going at it inside the ring in front of the raucous crowd. GLF eventually made Monaco the legal man with #2 when things settled down again. Soon after, Scarth grabbed The Iron Maiden from behind and dragged her to the back. #1 saw this and started toward the back but Steele and Melrose argued with him to stay for the match. While referee Charles was watching this melee, Monaco delivered a low blow to #2 and Morcello hit the DoMotion. The crowd booed hysterically. Monaco covered #2 just as Charles turned around and counted to 1-2-3.
RESULT: Danteourage def. Jersey Assassins & Hair Metal (9:19)
#1 stopped midway to the back after hearing the bell sound and turned around to figure out if he should help his partner or look for the Maiden. In the ring, the remaining Danteourage members fought with Hair Metal while #2 laid in pain. #1 decided to head to the back, screaming in front of the camera something incoherent. Back in the ring, the Danteourage got the best of Hair Metal and kicked #2 out of the ring. A celebration of poses ensued while the crowd pelted them with insults and boos.
Backstage, #1 searched frantically for Scarth and Maiden but to no avail as the show ended.
